I recently purchased a book called "Islam and Terrorism"
by Mark A. Gabriel, Ph.D. which backs up what I have said on this web
site regarding the history of Islam and its goal of taking over the
world. I highly recommend it. It is published by Charisma House and
can be purchased at christianbook.com. The author was a Muslim professor
of Islamic history in Egypt before he became a Christian, so he really
knows what he's talking about.
Here is a sample from the book:
When I was a freshman at Al-Azhar University in 1980, I enrolled in [a] class called Quranic Interpretation.
Two times a month we would gather to hear lectures from a blind sheikh whose passion for Islam made him popular
among students.
Yet his radical side was obvious. Anytime he encountered a reference in the Quran to Christians or Jews, he
took great delight in referring to the Christians as "infidels" and Jews as "the children of pigs."
He made it clear that he wanted to bring back the glory days of the Islamic empire through jihad. (page 23)
. . .
We find jihad as a command to all Muslims enforced by the Quran. The focus of jihad is to overcome people who do
not accept Islam. In Muhammad's day, jihad was therefore practiced against Christians and Jews on a regular basis,
as well as people who were idol worshipers--anyone who did not convert to Islam. (page33)
. . .
Jihad is carried out in order to achieve the ultimate goal of Islam--to establish Islamic authority over the whole
world. Islam is not just a religion; it is a government, too. That is why it always gets down to politics. Islam
teaches that Allah is the only authority; therefore, political systems must be based on Allah's teaching and nothing
else. (page 37)
